    First crack.  Spent a few mins on my lunch and i *know* I missed some obvious things.  But for those in the mood to check out other trees, and/or number crunch.  Have at it:

    stuff like: 
    Kolto Recharge and night vision Scope look appealing, though are too deep into the trees to be obtainable. Energy Blast looks underwhelming. unless it does something I don't get by the description, it seems like a lame skill for the final tree ability.

    Energy Cell = ammo.  So the tank can do damage, retain threat, without spending "rage" while actually earning "rage".. basically.  Not sure how that plays out at 50 though.

    right but there are other skills to generate Energy Cells. Unless that skill does a ton of damage, i wonder how useful it will be. But it's only 1 point, and may be worth it as 1 point doesn't get you to any great abilities.

    Troopers only get 12 points total I believe.  Depends how desperate for ammo you are as to how useful it is, it isn't the best 31 point ability I've seen though Ill say that much.

    Yeah 12 sounds right, but again, no idea what that translates to in later levels.

    The good thing if it is useless is you then potentially can get the first skill in one of the other two trees... Gut or Incendiary Round.

    I would get that improved stock strike ability "heavy stock" As a vanguard you will be using it alot, so that extra damage will count. Just my 2c

    Not a bad idea.  Could easily drop the 2% to Endurance for it.  Thanks.
